Hardy, Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration has a n no u n c e d an additional regulatory change designed to relieve financial pressures on persons whose mortgages may be in default because of hardship. The new procedure allows the lender and the mortgagor to agree on a method of payment of the defaulted portion of the mortgage to restore it ultimately to a current condition prior to the maturity date of the loan. This pro- cedure is subject only to the require- ment that the monthly payments be resumed after the forbearance in at least the amount specified in the mort- gage. Formerly, the mortgagor had to resume his regular mortgage payments, plus a sum to make up th defaulted amount, immediately after the for- bearance period was terminated. Commissioner Hardy said upon an- nouncing the new regulation: It be- came increasingly obvious that a pro- cedure had to be devised to relieve the mortgagor of the necessity of of increasing his regular mortgage p a y ments immediately after going through a hardship period. This new regulation will give the lender full discretion to work out some method for the borrower to make up the de- faulted protion of the mortgage in such a way as to give him a period of relief from higher payments. Commissioner Hardy further stated, Mortgagees are therefore encouraged to avail themselves of this new pro- cedure, cooperate with the FHA insuring offices, as in the Hurricane Carla emergency, and make every effort to avoid foreclosure in hardship cases. The FHA Commissioner has authority to act under two criteria to cure a mortgage default: (1) if he finds that the default is due to circumstances beyond the mortgagor's control, and (2) if he finds that the mortgage probably will be restored to good standingwithin a reasonable time. U.S. Court of Appeals UNITED STATES Soldiers Home Inmtesof Soldiers' Home are soldiers whose unclaimed estates escheat to United States. District of Columbia v. Wolverton Admtr. U. S. App. D.C. No. 16,295, December 7, 1961. Affirmed. Per Washington, J. (Danaher and Burger, J. J., concur.) H. Thomas Sisk with Chester H. Gray, Milton D. Korman and Hubert B. Pair for appellant. Jerome I. Levinson with William H. Orrick, Jr. and David C. Acheson, Alan S. Rosenthal and David R. Wol- verton for appellee United States. This case involves competing claims of the United States and the District of Columbia to escheat of the moneys owned by an inmate of the United States Soldiers' Home who died in 1959, intestate and without legal heirs or next of kin. The Soldiers' Home is located in the District of Columbia, and all parties agree that the inmate here involved-Albert J. Smith-was a resident of the District- at his death. He had served for thirty- one years in the Regular Army, was retired in 1928, and entered the Home in 1956. The District Court, sitting as a Probate Court, awarded the moneys to the United States. * * * The central question before us is whether the provision in 24 U.S.C. §44 for the appropriation of all moneys belonging to the estates of 'deceased soldiers' was intended by Congress to include the moneys of an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, retired from the Army, who dies intestate and without heirs. After careful consideration we have concluded that Congress did so intend, and that the claim of the United States must prevail over that of the District of Columbia.
